RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of board action of November 13, 2018 (C.30), which approved execution of a revenue agreement from California Department of Community Services and Development for the 2019 Community Services Block Grant, to change the payment limit from $847,381 to $850,578 with no change to term January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will receive a pass-through of federal funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development. There is no county match requirement.


State Contract Number: 19F-4007

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

County Contract Number: 39-813-48
[CFDA 93.569]

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (Department) received notification of funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development on October 30, 2018. As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council. The self-sufficiency programs have the goal of ameliorating poverty in Contra Costa County through programs that address housing, economic development and food security. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide employment training, housing payment assistance and food distribution.

The Board approved the funding allocation on November 13, 2018 (C.30) in the amount of $847,381. This allocation was an estimate provided by the state based on 2018 allocations. At this time, the state has the accurate 2019 allocation as confirmed by the federal budget. This board order is to clarify the new payment limit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community, and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.
